This is not surprising in general, but it is surprising personally. Lee certainly could still contribute and it's hard to imagine not team could make room for him, but considering his age, ceiling, and that the only teams that could probably really use him aren't competitive and would rather give a young player the roster spot.

Not that the league would make a big deal about it, but I wonder if the Warriors will do something like sign him for a 1-day contract. He's not a hall-of-famer, but he certainly was one of our few bright spots for years.
